If you’re looking to swap to a cheaper cell plan this month, then this offer might tempt you to make the switch.
The carrier has launched a new $40 unlimited 5G plan for Cyber Monday, and if you switch your number over, Metro will throw in a free Samsung Galaxy A16. The monthly price includes taxes and fees, and Metro says the price won’t rise for five years. Win. If you’d rather keep your current phone, however, there’s also an unlimited 5G deal for $25 per month.
Because Metro runs on T-Mobile’s network, you’ll get access to the same nationwide coverage that recently topped U.S. speed tests. Here’s how to get Metro’s best Cyber Monday deals.

For Black Friday, Metro is offering one of the best budget-friendly prepaid 5G plans I’ve seen so far. If you switch your existing number over to Metro, the carrier will give you a free Samsung Galaxy A16 or a Motorola Moto G Power smartphone. I’ve tested the Samsung Galaxy A16 myself, and it’s one of the best budget smartphones you can get — it usually costs $200.
